So it shouldn't shock many to learn why the last time for a while you'll be able to see The Mickeys perform will be at 6:30 p.m. Sunday as part of the Sunday Night Concert Series at the Maple Lake Amphitheater in Paw Paw.

The reason: Sherman and Peebles are pregnant, due Sept. 4 and Sept. 18, respectively. The sisters found out within a couple weeks of each other in the winter. The women continued to play for the last few months, but growing bellies have made it difficult to strum a guitar or bang on the drums.

"Honestly, it's not so bad. We enjoy playing, but later, our legs get tired," Sherman said.

Sherman said it's "crazy" that they're both expecting and there must have been "something in the water," as a third family member also is pregnant, due Sept. 3.

Sherman said performances intensified with the presence of their babies.

"It gives a whole new perspective to the songs we sing. With a life inside of you, we want the music to be a positive part of their life," she said.

Now comes the challenge of making their children -- Sherman is expecting a girl and Peebles a boy -- fans of The Mickeys.
